Manufacturer's Description from Elysia

Freedom /ˈfriːdəm/

(the condition or right of being able or allowed to do, say, think, etc. whatever you want to, without being controlled or limited.)


In the nature of creative- and artwork, this word plays a crucial part in the development of tremendous ideas. Did you ever calculate how many hours or days you have been limited in your life?  Don’t you think that you should use the lost time for something greater? We guess so!

People constantly talking about life-changer which sometimes seems to be far away from reality but accustoming. Is it just a phrase? Creativity desires limitless freedom to express yourself in all aspects. Freedom, also known as mobility or flexibility to do what you want to do. Everywhere. 

You can imagine sitting in a studio working on the next big mix or production at a desk with all the fine analog outboard equipment you’ll need installed with rusty screws. In dusty racks. In front of you.

How do you get your favorite analog audio processors side by side of your laptop at home? What about your next tour or gig traveling the world?  

We have unleashed our famous elysia analog audio processing hardware to make your musical life much easier, flexible and mobile with the elysia qube series. 

qube – A selected series of our famous 500-Analog Modules with Class-A Topology in a rugged, lightweight and travel-ready aluminium case with all the great pristine, transparent sound you will expect from us.  Analog to Go. Everywhere.


Limitless.

Put your qube wherever you need. On top of your Rack. Your desk. On your limited space in your Homestudio or even on a small kitchen table beside your Laptop. Take advantage of qube at your next Live-Gig or simply take it to the Club at your DJ Booth. A new definition of comfort and flexibility is just waiting for you. 

Maximum flexibility if you get a call from your studio- or music mate to work on a new production. Just put it into your suitcase or backpack together with your Laptop and feel the freedom qube will have to offer. 

qube can easily replace your favorite audio processing plugins and saves you a lot of precious CPU Power on your DAW. A perfect side effect is that you’ll get a high-performance tactile control with the highest industry standard quality custom made potentiometers to get your hands on your audio-tracks. 100% free from Latency.

 

Connection.

You can imagine. elysia wouldn’t be elysia today without deep expertise in sophisticated discrete Class-A Analog Hardware combined with the trust from you since 2006. To be connected to the Audio-World you need the highest quality standards in terms of connection. For that reason we added two balanced XLR In- and Outputs plus two extra TRS In- and Outputs to the qube. This will guarantee a flexible audio connection with the best audio quality you deserve. Promised.


Puristic Power.

We designed a super-low noise Power Supply just for the qube. To give you the best experience in Audio Quality. So you just concentrate on your music and relax knowing that the signal flow is simply the purest you can get. No Pain. Power Supply is included in the package.


Quality Standards.

If this will be your first elysia hardware, just take a deeper look at our alpha compressor which is one of the most famous and sophisticated mastering compressors in the world today. As you can see, we spend all our love and passion for our products we build. With no exception.  All the components of our products are top-notch and we think that you deserve products you can use for the rest of your lifetime. qube is handcrafted with precision in Germany. The form-factor is genius as you can stack various qubes through the aluminum profiles. And the weight… only around 1500 grams (3.3lb).

 

Music is Art. Paint your Tones.

The karacter 500 is a box full of vibrant colors. It covers a complete spectrum including mastering-grade saturation, tube-inspired distortion and glorious destruction. Gone are the days when only racks full of outboard gear could achieve these elusive and highly desirable styles of tonal coloration.

The entire unit is designed with discrete class-A topology, so even the most lo-fi sounds will benefit from the karacter’s high-end touch. Enhance your tracks or decimate everything – It’s a matter of karacter.

 

5 reasons why you should use the karacter 500

(even though there are many more!)

   

Build Quality

    The karacter 500, just like all our products, is designed, engineered and handcrafted in Germany.
   

Class-A Topology

    Consequently represents the art of discrete signal processing.
   

Unique Color Filter

    This feature changes the harmonics frequency relation with tons of interesting variations. Middle is flat, turn left for more dub and right for more shred.
   

Dual Mono / Stereo Link

    The karacter 500 gives you ultimate flexibility in terms of configuring its channels.
   

Saturation / Distortion Galore

    Mastering grade saturation and a Tube-inspired distortion is under the hood of karacter 500.


Elysia Audio

About Manufacturer

The beginning was an obsession. Would it actually be possible to build special gear with these features and sound characteristics? Well, since then Elysia has become a union of creative audio enthusiasts who have a clearly defined objective: the development and production of high-quality studio equipment featuring that certain something. We do not want to settle for the status quo and rehash existing concepts time and again. Our objective is rather to adapt our products to current demands in everyday studio life. The initiators of the company founded in Nettetal (Germany) in 2005 are Ruben Tilgner and Dominik Klaen. Affected by countless live and studio experiences as well as by over ten years of pro audio experience they finally created elysia in order to make their personal sound philosophy come true. Ruben looks back on many successful development projects: besides others, he has designed the Transient Designer, the GainStation and the MixDream for SPL. Based on his experience on the marketing sector, Dominik Klaen concentrates on communication, documentation and all topics related to product design. The independence of our enterprise enables us to follow extreme paths in our work. We like to try out a lot and are only satisfied when there is nothing left to improve. Besides, we never discard unconventional ideas airily we test all of them and never form our opinion before doing so. Our most important rule is that the ear always comes first, but we also like to please the eye by reflecting the inner values of our devices on the outside with an exclusive design. This is the basis on that our audio equipment is built. We set value on highest sound quality, exclusive use of top grade components, perfect operability and reliability, appealing product design, exemplary documentation and implementation of innovative features without any Voodoo, but with real profit for daily usage.
